(The Center Square) – Secretary of War Pete Hegseth plans to reduce the Navy retirement pay for U.S. Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Arizona, following Kelly’s participation in a video telling members of the military to “refuse illegal orders.”

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said that nearly 200 American troops entered central Caracas during a pre-dawn operation that resulted in the capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said his department is taking "administrative action" against Democratic U.S. Senator Mark Kelly, including a reduction in his retirement rank and pay and formal censure, after a Pentagon investigation into the retired naval captain's allegedly "seditious" comments.

During a cabinet meeting at the White House last month, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth aggressively lashed out at the press over their coverage of military strikes on alleged drug boats in the Caribbean.

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) condemned Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco Rubio for “not being straight with the American people” about President Donald Trump’s attack on Venezuela, and the kidnapping of President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores.

"President Trump sets the terms. And ultimately, he'll decide what the iterations are of that," Hegseth told "CBS Evening News" anchor Tony Dokoupil.

Trump and his allies secured a major win with the surprise attack on Venezuela, followed by the capture of the country’s president, Nicolás Maduro, along with his wife. While the move has sent shock waves across many other countries,
